Description


Join NOMA us as we book an entire boat for NOMA members and conference attendees to experience one of the best Architectural Tours in Chicago! This private event is open to all registered conference attendees. Experience the "top tour in Chicago and one of the top ten tours in the U.S." according to TripAdvisorusers. The Chicago Architecture Foundation Center River Cruise is a must for out-of-towners and Chicagoans alike. CAC-certified volunteer tour guides—called docents—interpret more than 50 buildings along the Chicago River. You'll find out how Chicago grew from a small settlement into one of the world’s largest cities in less than 100 years. In 90 minutes, get the real story on Chicago architecture and its history.

This event is NOT INCLUDED in the FULL CONFERENCE REGISTRATION and requires a $50 fee to join on the tour.

Location:

112 E. Wacker drive (southeast corner of Michigan Avenue Bridge at Wacker Drive) look for the blue awning marking the boat dock entrance stairs leading down to the river.
